Say, that you have a school with about 100 teachers, 1000 students, 25 rooms ... Each having his/hers demands and constraints.
Now, you want an optimal schedule - who doesn't. For that I have a software to do it automatically. Not semi-automatically like everyone else.
I want to test it for the North America and Australia's primary and secondary schools on several real life examples. For free, of course.
I am looking for a principal or his assistant to try this together over Skype.
Heads up about the business side of this: selling to primary & secondary schools, esp outside of the US, is 8/10 difficult.
Specifically, even if the teachers are fully championing your solution, they do not wield any sort of purchasing authority (and sure as hell won't pay from their own wallet). Purchasing authority's incentive-structure does not align with "teacher happiness", "optimal schedule", or most things one would imagine being the mission of the school. It is, however, critical for them to control all sw used inside the school, and might actively discourage using non-approved vendors.
